Just got off the phone with TexasDaughter -- it's a good thing we have unlimited minutes on T-Mobile, 'cause that was a long, much-needed conversation.
She visited three houses this evening and was really excited about them all. I know a request was made for me to name the actual houses that she's been cut from, but I'd rather not, because if I did, then everyone could figure out the remaining three. by process of elimination I'm not trying to be difficult about this, just careful. It's really important to me that I honor and respect TexasDaughter's privacy in this process.
Today was Craft Day at each of the three houses. i'll sum up her visits as follows:
Chris -- The PNMs crafted some items to be given to the recipients of this GLO's philanthropy. TexasDaughter said that while she and another PNM were making their craft, they were joined by two actives. She said all four of them had a good conversation. After they made the craft, then all the actives did a presentation. TexasDaughter was then rotated to other actives. She enjoyed this house a lot. She said while they were listening to the presentation, a lot of the PNMs seemed bored and the actives noticed this, she thought. She made sure she was attentive and complimented the sisters on all their hard work after the presentation was over. She says she can see herself as a sister of this house.
Paula -- TexasDaughter also adores this house. This house had a fairly slow start with her, but she has come to appreciate it more and more each day. The girls are "real," she says. She has met several sisters whom she has visited with each day. They did a craft, which again was made for their local philanthropy. TexasDaughter is very drawn to these girls -- she really does have a strong interest in this group!
Fantasia -- Another good visit. She didn't know a lot about their philanthropy and said she asked a lot of questions of the sisters, who were extremely eager to answer her. She liked the fact they were proud of their work. TexasDaughter liked this group also -- she said she met several girls she would call friends.
So, even though she may not have the numbers of invitations she would like, we think she's extremely fortunate to truly like all the groups that still have an interest in her. These are all good, solid GLOs. And in a funny way, TexasDaughter is relieved, because she can concentrate on these houses and make a thoughtful, intelligent decision.
Also, TexasDaughter said today the Rho Gammas said that a lot of girls have dropped out. She also heard that the big cuts were the first two days. I cautioned her not to listen to "tent talk" but she said this came from some of the Rho Gammas.
Tomorrow morning the remaining PNMs are to meet for another convocation -- this is supposed to address finances. I think. My question is, would they have PNMs attend this if they were planning to cut them later that day? The fourth round, "Sisterhood Day," or "Skit Night" begins tomorrow evenig at 6 and each PNM can attend up to four parties.
NOTE to Nolemom: I laughed hard at your story about being in the dentist's office when the phone rang. Yesterday, I was in my boss' office when the phone rang and I ran out of there so fast his jaw dropped!
NOTE to cindy0128: Great advice about FaceBook! TexasDaughter said she made sure hers was presentable right after she registered.
NOTE to exquisite5: Best wishes in your Bar Exam Results! Hopefully, TexasDaughter will be in that position in a few years.
Sorry for the length of this post. As southernyankee advised, I think i'll go take an Ambien!
